Your spymaster, Usis, has managed to get his spies and agents into all matter of positions in Urgi space, greatly increasing your knowledge of their politics and goings-on. You suppose if he was the Supreme Ruler in your place, he likely would have already discovered the hidden alleigances of the mystery council members, and likely would have had these agents in place to make some moves. But better late then never.

“We've found the hidden statistics of the Urgi factions, my lord. It appears that the Goldwings private security and mercanry forces are a big stronger then they let on, hiding some of their power. After all, they still take and hold slaves in a rather barberous tradition. They are a bit more militirized then we thought.”
”And what of the Redwings?”
“They project a lot of force outwards, but we found evidence, even eyewitness from our secret probes and reconissance, of a lot of these stations and shipyards being... decoys. Fakes.”
”So their hidden statistic is... Nothing?”
“Yes, my liege. Weak nations are often found to project force outwards, with endless military parades and showboating, while the strong ones keep their true power hidden away. Tale as old as time.”
”Hmm... This will certainly help in our efforts to influence the election, but as of how, I am not sure.”
“One more thing, your Majesty.” Usis adds. “...It may be prudent to warn the wealthy and powerful among the Urgi of your plan to guide the Aristocrats through their territory. It won't stop your plan to weaken one of the factions, but it could foster some favor among the birds. Though then again, it would make it more obvious the Hegemony is doing it on purpose... which may not be good.”
”Your expertise on this matter is always appreciated, Usis. Back to work with those biobots, got that?”
“...Yes, your Majesty.”
